"XTC" by Boys Noize is a track that revolves around the use of the party drug, ecstasy (MDMA) and the feeling of euphoria that comes with it. The song's lyrics focus on a single phrase - "XTC, one for me," repeated over and over again in a robotic voice effect with increasing intensity. The repetition of this phrase creates a hypnotic effect, which mimics the drug's effect and is often used in club scenes to create an atmosphere of sensory overload.
The song's repetitive structure can be interpreted as a reflection of the "rave culture" of the 1990s and early 2000s, where parties lasted all night, bathed in strobe lights, and where ecstasy was prevalent. The song could also be interpreted as a critique of rave culture, highlighting the dangerous effects of drugs as well as the social pressure to conform to expected norms.
The lyrics are accompanied by an energetic, bass-heavy electronic beat, which complements the theme of the track perfectly. Overall, "XTC" is a reflection of the highs and lows of rave culture, capturing the intense experience of being under the influence of the drug ecstasy.

I looooooooooooooooove the moment at 1:32. Seriously though, the chemical brothers are some of the best remixers out there. When they remix a song, they change it up almost completely.
